the only reason im thinking about this figure is because i have Chromia and Arcee and it would be nice to mess around with possible combinations... but I have a feeling ill only pick it up if its on sale or something

Try Toyworld Nightscreech, they have the AA Deluxe toys for $20 each if you have the current catalogue with you and if your Toyworld store follows the catalogue too.

Finally all three sisters, gotta say the metallic purple in real life is much nicer then even depicted in her bubble pack. I quite like her, it could just be mine but I suspect they may of tightened up her chest seam as well as my Elita's chest is a lot tighter than what Chromias was and as such she doesn't pop in half all the time.
Intention is still to give her a touch of paint though.

I've got it. It's nice, and I'm awaiting combination instructions.

I don't think the 3 bikes combine to make a single, bigger robot. From my research on the net of what little I can find and experimentation, the Arcee triplets do not combine.

The 3 prongs/pegs just latch on together to allow the three bikes to "lean" against each other and have no need for the stands. This pic is courtesy of ohm27 from the Energon Pub @ Seibertron dotcom:

As for the figure itself, I think it looks really nice with all the premium silver paint apps. She kinda stand out from the other two though.

It's nice but i was expecting more then just a repaint, perhaps a retool or something seeing as how she had a unique robot mode in the movie, not just a twin/clone of Chromia.

Still worth it though for those trying to complete the movie cast.

It's worth noting that Hasbro Elita-1 is only US$15.90 (AU$16.85) from RK, so if you're after a few other things (TFA Wing Blade Prime & Jet Pack 'bee for instance) and Toyworld doesn't have her in stock, this might be the way to go. I could only find her at Myer (for $34.95!!) so that's exactly what I did.

I think this toy's only worth buying if you already have Arcee and Chromia and want to complete the set. If I didn't want to complete this set I wouldn't bother getting it. So I'm voting "Yes" but with the condition of "only if you want to complete the set" (or if you missed out on Chromia)
